Man on a mission

July 20, 2007 | quotes

Jesus Christ was a man on a mission, and his purpose was never in question. He did not, however, misuse the notion that God was working his purpose out through his life by adopting a passive attitude toward his work for God. He did not halfheartedly live, but actively obeyed every command of the Father to the point that the life which he calls every Christian to imitate is a life of action fueled by the knowledge that their ultimate purpose is and remains the glory of God. … Jesus never structured the purposes of God around themes of self-importance or self-esteem. Rather, he spoke of taking up a cross, laying one’s life down for others, and following in the footsteps of one described as a man of sorrows acquainted with grief.” – Douglas Baker in Baptist Press 1/27/06
